Stop the leaks!

If your water bill seems high, check immediately for leaks in your systems. A dripping faucet or other unsuspected leaks may be the cause of a high bill.

Water waste at 40 pounds of pressure:

• a 1/32" leak wastes 170 gallons in 24 hours

• a 1/16" leak wastes 970 gallons in 24 hours

• a 1/8" leak wastes 3600 gallons in 24 hours.

The smallest of these leaks will add over $20.00 to your annual water bill.

Please call 542-3815 regarding any water leaks.
